Lili Rose Cookies are a quick and easy recipe that transforms just a few simple ingredients into an irresistible treat. These cookies are delightfully salty, buttery, and rich with walnut flavour, topped with rosewater icing and sprinkled with dried rose petals to add a beautiful, festive touch to any celebration. Whether you’re gifting them for Christmas, Eid, or simply sharing them with friends, these cookies are sure to impress. They’re even featured in my 15 Edible Gift Ideas blog article—perfect inspiration for thoughtful holiday gifting.
This recipe was inspired by a friend who once posted a cookie with mouthwatering icing. While the flavours were completely different, my first thought was to recreate it with Middle Eastern-inspired touches. And so, I named it after her—Lili. If you love cookies, be sure to try my Pistachio Shortbread Cookies, which are buttery, crisp, and perfect for any festive occasion, or my crunchy Rolled Oats Cookies, packed with wholesome oats for a bit of extra goodness.
I use a KitchenAid stand mixer to make these cookies effortlessly. If you’re looking for quality baking goods and mixers, check out Dorsch Home. Plus, you can enjoy 10% off any purchase using the code ‘roubasfood.’
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 170°. Line 2 trays with non-stick paper.
Beat the eggs with rose water and set aside. Using an electric beater, cream the butter and sugar. Gradually add the beaten egg.
Step 2.
Fold in the remaining ingredients. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and portion it into walnut size balls.
Step 3.
Place on prepared baking trays, and press down gently. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until very lightly golden.
Step 4.
For the easy rose icing; add the rose water gradually to the icing sugar and mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Once cookies are completely cool, smooth over some icing and sprinkle with pistachio.
